Chapter 254

And at this time, she always felt something strange.

It can also be said that the emperor's fear was hard to dispel because his grandfather had not handed over his military power. At the time of the construction of Wanfu building, there happened to be a suitable Cai Jin and a suitable name——

But is that all?

"Doesn't Zhaozhao think that the emperor sent Cai Jin to the town government has something to do with the previous long princess?" the town government's voice was very low.

Xu Mingyi nodded.

It seems that Grandpa thought of it with her.

Not long after the accident happened to the eldest princess, there was Cai Jin. She always felt that the opportunity was too coincidental.

In the past, she did not hide from her grandfather what she knew and guessed, including that the person who wanted to take the life of the princess was the current emperor, which was explained to her grandfather.

Now it seems that grandpa has always taken this matter to heart.

Look at Grandpa's look at this time. It seems that she guessed something she didn't know——

This is also one of the reasons why she would not be self righteous and hide from her grandfather all the time. Her grandfather's experience is here, and she knows far more than her. If the same thing is put in front of her and grandfather, his grandfather may be able to see what she can't see.

"As for this matter, in fact, I have a guess in my heart in recent days."

The Duke of town has no intention of hiding it from his granddaughter - in private, the child will always be the one who needs his pet and protection. But before she got down to business, the child had already revealed that she was not like a child.

Seeing the girl waiting for him to speak seriously and seriously, the Duke of town sighed slightly and said: "this guess, I had doubts when Princess Jing Rong had an accident before, but now I'm more convinced - if the Duke of town and the princess of town have the same thing, that's all..."

"What?" Xu Mingyi looked at the old man in his sight.

What my grandfather said was that the town government and Princess Jing Rongchang had been too close to the king of Yan?

When she learned that the emperor was going to attack the eldest princess, she also thought about it, but she just felt that it was too untenable - even if she was closer to the king of Yan, the Reverend Princess Rong was different from the town government in holding military power, and the eldest princess had no real power.

To put it bluntly, even if Princess Jing Rongchang will stand on the side of the king of Yan, what useful help can she give the king of Yan?

You can't rely on those faces in the house as the help of the Yan king?

——Of course, even this road will not work now. After all, the long princess's face has been sent away by all the unfilial women in her family.

Therefore, in her opinion, the long princess's house is always different from the town government.

The emperor's attack on this sister must have other, ulterior reasons.

"The eldest princess and I were summoned by the former Emperor alone in the bedroom before the former emperor died..." the Duke of the town said slowly.

Xu Mingyi's eyes suddenly changed.

Is there such a thing?

She knew little about the imperial court in her previous life, and she knew nothing about the old affairs in the palace.

Now, when I heard it, I just felt a chill on my back.

Grandfather's judgment is extremely sharp.

But... If only summoned alone, why are you afraid of this?

In this short moment, an old story suddenly popped up in her mind - Liu Yi said earlier that Zhan Yunzhu had used her to inquire about "whether the Xu family has any heirloom that outsiders don't know"!

The Zhan family is used by the Xia family, and who Xia Tingzhen is. All these are clear at a glance.

Therefore, the so-called "family heirloom", who wants to inquire about, is also a matter on the surface!

Previously, she didn't think it was worth thinking about. It was just a detailed means to spy on her Xu family's secrets and weaknesses after being explained layer by layer

But now it's different

"Before the emperor died, did he secretly give something to his grandfather?" even if there was no third person in the study, Xu Mingyi's voice was still too low.

"Zhaozhao thought that Zhan's family asked Liu Yi to inquire about our family heirloom?"

Xu Mingyi nodded after he was slightly stunned.

The old man's eyes suddenly calmed her down.

When she mentioned it to her grandfather, she remembered that his grandfather had joked that she was the family heirloom——

But it was such a small thing that my grandfather always remembered it.

This feeling that her grandfather would listen to and write down everything she said made her feel more at ease in the future.

"At that time, my grandfather told you that we were the only heirloom in our family." Zhenguo Justice: "my grandfather didn't lie to you - the former Emperor didn't give me anything before he died."

Xu Mingyi listened to the answer, but he didn't feel relieved.

"If you don't give it to your grandfather, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

"That's right." the Duke of town looked out of the window at the beginning of dusk and said, "even if there is no such thing at all, as long as the emperor believes that it exists, even if he just suspects its existence -"

Their town government and Princess Jing Rong Chang's house are equivalent to committing a "capital crime".

Moreover, holding Xu Jiajun and King Yan can be called the old town government. Its own existence is "heinous".

So——

"The reason why the emperor chose to send Cai Jin to Beijing at this time must be to consider the arrival of King Yan in Beijing next year." the Duke of town speculated.

Since the death of the first emperor, King Yan has never stepped into the capital.

Now that the Empress Dowager's birthday is ahead, his majesty has made a kind brother appearance that "this time there is finally reason to let his second brother return to Beijing", but the actual situation is - this time, he has no reason not to let King Yan go to Beijing.

"He may be afraid that you really have something in your hand. Take the opportunity to hand it over to the king of Yan -" Xu Mingyi was a little depressed.

In the last life, the Xu family was destroyed, just before King Yan entered Beijing.

At that time, the Xu family had no military power as a bargaining chip, but the emperor was still cruel and fast.

I'm afraid this is not only to cut off all threats, but also to deter and remind the king of Yan who came to Beijing to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday.

How afraid of the Yan king.

Xu Mingyi sneered and satirized at the bottom of his eyes.

Is this fear, just fear, or is it based on a guilty heart?

Do you fall into boundless guilt and doubt because you know clearly that someone in the world deserves that position better than yourself?

But what did the innocent people who lost their lives because of his self doubt do wrong?

She knew little about the king of Yan and could not evaluate whether the king of Yan was more worthy——

But it is certain that this is really unworthy.

He doesn't deserve to be an emperor.

I don't even deserve to be a man.
